Family Sushi Night
Why didn't we do this sooner? Recently I noticed a few moms handing out sheets of toasted nori to their kids and was reminded what a good snack it is; plus, we go out for sushi every month or so -- why not make it at home?
We used:
2 c cooked short grain white rice, tossed with rice vinegar, sugar and salt
one slivered avocado
one slivered carrot
one slivered cucumber
2 slivered sweet potatoes, roasted with sesame oil and soy sauce
1/4 lb shitake mushrooms, sliced and sauteed in a bit of sesame oil
2 eggs scrambled with a bit of rice vinegar
I meant to fry up some tofu, too, but forgot. No matter--we had plenty of fillings, and even some leftover. Making sushi with two kids is a bit of an art project, but they ate a ton and are already dreaming of creative sushi fillings for next time (roasted broccoli! spinach! edamame!)
It's a good, cheap dinner that everybody likes.

Oh, my mouth is watering, and I just finished breakfast!
Becca just mentioned doing this, too! I meant to myself the other day but ended up making fried rice instead...but it's on my list! Looks fabulous...
This reminds me- we got a sushi set for our wedding and have never used it. Thanks for the recipe!
My husband would LOVE me if we did something like this at home. He loves, loves, loves sushi. So does my 2 1/2 year old son. Only problem...I'm not really into it. Oh well. :)
